In its rear was laid out well-kept kitchen

A Treat for the Conoisseur.


10 recent issue of the Freie Presse
the following well deserved tribute to
an enterprise that has taken strong hold
Of the public generally appeared:
"a branch Of home industry, which
grows more and more in our city, is the
refrigerating business. In this line
Messrs. Carolan & King, 22S Dolorosa
street, opposite Southern hotel, stand
pre-eminent. Ii may not be known to
many hOusekeepers that meats prepared
shortly after the killing, If not absolute
ly dangerous to the human body, con-
tain q great many ingredients which
neither bring nourishment to the body
nor pleasantness to the palate. From
two to three days are sufficient to de-
strOy these ingredients. In the refrig-
orator the meats do not suffer under any
atmospheric influences. The above is
known to every hunter. Meat kept
three or four days In refrigerating
state is much more palatable and nour.
ishing than when prepared shortly after
killing. The refrigerator of Carolsn &
King Is built on the newest system and
will, on inspection, convince every body
that cleanliness and good order are the
principles on which CarOlan s. King
mean to gain the patronage of our citi-
2ens !"
In this matter the LIGHT is able to en-
dorse the expressions Of its contempt
rary, and having used the refrigerator
meats prepared by this firm, can testify
to their excellence. To what IL and the
Freie Presse might have truthfully add
ed is that there are two other grand
points In this system. The first is that
the meat becomes tender, and the sec
ond IL that the delicate flavor Of meat
so highly esteemed by the connoisseur
ia fully preserved.

The Alamo City to the Front.

San Antonio has the honor to hold two
citizens who have invente something
that Is destined to create considerable
excitement in railroad circles, and to be
the means of saving many thousands OF
human lives. The inventors are Mr.. Eu-
gene p. Carolan, Of the firm of Carolan
& King, and Mr.. P. II. Lee,
late clerk of the street COM
missioner's department, and their
invention is patent coupler by
which cars can be instantly coupled
or uncoupled without the brakeman
leaving the car This invention
is very simple In character, but most ef-
fective in action, and can be produced
twenty-five per cent cheaper than the
Miller coupler. The importance Of this
invention is that the coupling is auto
matte and that part of the coupler neces-
sary for uncoupling can be so placed as
to be worked in the car or on the ground.
When Ii Is considered that 9S6 railroad
men lose their lives annually in coupling
trains, which is avoided by this inven-
ton, its utility will be APP
preciated, and when we COD
slider that In railroad accidents
much life and property could be saved
by the prompt uncOupllng OF the cars to
decrease the momentum, to prevent cars
being unnecessarily dragged in ruin, or
to detach burning car. The greatness
Of this invention is such that excites adj
miratiOn, and to lead to the inference
that it will soon be 10 general use.

Remarkable Surgery.

The science of surgery has made such won
dCrtul progress in modern times, that the
most intricate and delicate operations are
now undertaken and carried to a successful
issue. There are now several well authcnt-
Gated cases of what is known as pneumOtony
that is to say, the removal of diseased pOr-
lions of lungs in cases of consumption.
While, however, this delicate operation has
sometimes been successfully performed, the
risks attending it are so great, and the chances
of recovery so slight, that il is seldom resort
ed to. The safest plan in cOnsumptive cases
is to use DR.. Pierce's Golden Medical DiscOv-
cry. This will always cure the disease in its
earlier stages, thoroughly arresting the raw
ages OF the terrible malady, by removing its
acues and healing the lungs.

that the indications for the growing wheat
and rye show decrease of 80 per cent. in
comparison to the average condition at the
same period last year. Much Of this decrease
has been caused by the severe weather
which prevailed at times when the fields
were bare Of sn ow.
